MN Health Care Activists Protest HMOs Gobbling Up Billions
St. Paul, MN, May 9, 2011. A group of protestors representing over a dozen organizations rallied in front of the offices of Minnesota Health Care Plans Office, the HMO trade association, to protest excess retention of funds paid in by the public. Even though there is bipartisan support, the HMO lobbyists have convince the relevant committee chairs to refuse to discuss the cost saving options. Thus a possible billion deficit reduction is swept under the legislative rug. The groups argue that, “Minnesota’s private HMOs have profited from MN’s public Medicaid while 1000s of children w/ disabilities, seniors in nursing homes, and low-income people- all on these same programs face devastating cuts. Over billion a year of taxpayer money funds these programs into a black box of unaccountability. This year alone HMOs kept 0 million in profits and over years HMOs have hoarded .5 billion into their reserve funds.” If all public health insurance programs run by various state agencies were consolidated into one state agency payer would save an estimated billion this year - a significant dent in the billion state deficit.

@classicallady You’re right. That creep in Florida is the worst. How could people in Florida vote for him? Not only is a registered crook, he’s could also pass as Liver Fluke Man from X-Files. He brings slime to the next the level.
@seamoremonster Meanwhile the WORST defrauder of Medicare is now the FL governor. Fl stand as one of the worst Medicare thieves in this country
@aldenbuzz Very well said.
HMO’s deliver as little care as they can get away with.
They’ve been rotten since the beginning.
Both Republicans and Democrats are stuck in their traps and get as little care
as the HMO can get away with providing. There are a million ways they avoid
delivering care. HMO’s should be done away with.
Great Video…
Another “small business” supported by the Chamber of Commerce, Republicans and Tea Baggers. Why is it that extremists support the Private Parasitic Big Medical Insurance. That’s right..extremists….they are either extremely stupid, extremely greedy, extremely dishonest or all three.
